KH, changed:
Rockers (went from y/t's to stock)
Valvesprings (Rev's to ETP's)
Pushrods (different length, still 3/8 in diameter)

I had a pushrod that kept coming out from under a rocker. Luckily it did not bend the intake valve. Dan/Jim @ Speed Inc. have a lot of turbo combos under their belt and I am fortunate that they have seen some combos NOT work and know what to check. I'm hoping to run this weekend.

Hi Jim. Does the timing look the same as last time? Any major changes? I"m guessing that driveability improved quite a bit now.

With your turbo kit! It should run a 8 right off the trailer! If he can 60' it I say it will run a 8.9-9.1
